The Directors having received the support of eminent foreign capitalists, and the ca• operation of many of the lead ing firms in thi-4 country connected with public works, are already in a position to announce that they have secured a business which will of itself yield a large return on the capital, without reckoning the probable profit which they will also derive from the further operations they have in view. The spirit of enterprise which has now manifested itself in foreign countries, with the encouragement given by the various Governments lo the construction of works of public utility, leave no do' pt that there is still ample scope for an undertaking of 4 .:nis nature. Having secured not only the influence of those connected with banking establishments in many of the principal cities of the continent, but the acquisi tion of ixasiness, which will form the basis of immediate profitabAe transactions, the Directors have no hesitation in intre4uoing this Association to the public. r d e general objects of this company are the same as those of, other compan es of a kindred nature which have been lately started in this country, and which, by the judicious employment of capital, h ve been enabled to secure for the shareholders such large dividends.

Mr. HARRY PALMER said he was requested by Mr. Bassett, a solicitor of Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, to state that he wasnow present and ready to offer any explana tion to the Court which might bo required in reference to the cases of George Farmer, Thomas Featherstone, and William Taylor, in which he was instructed to prosecute. The Assistant-Judge said the costs of Mr. Bassett. were refused because the Court had been informed that it was the practice of certain persons to attend the police courts of tly metropolis to make arrangeraents with police con stables who were concerned in cases, and to induce pro secutors to allow them to undertake to engage counsel for the trial, upon the understanding that no expense beyond the county allowance would be incurred. Mr. Bassett wrote to the Court indulging in all kinds of threats which were to be carried out if the refusal to allow costs was persisted in. Inquiries were then directed, and it was found that in each of the three cases mentioned Mr. Bas sett, or the man representing him, had solicited the pro secutors in the way described. The police had interfered to obtain the prosecution for Mr. Bassett, and their conduct would be reported to the proper authorities. The Court would do all they could to discourage these practices, and Mr. Bassett would certainly not be allowed any costs. The same system prevails to a greater extent in the Cen tral Criminal Court, and urgently demands similar repres sion. Germain Soyer, aged 42, pleaded guilty to stealing seve ral sums of money belonging to the trustees of the French Dispensary, by whom he was employed as collector. Mr. Metcalfe, who was instructed to prosecute, stated that the prisoner absconded in June last, and had since col lected about £4O or £5O. his dishonesty being facilitated by the possession of a book of printed forms of receipts for donations to the dispensary, which he carried away with him. The prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned nine calendar months with hard labour. John Wilson Davis, aged 31, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling three several sums, amounting to Zt3 Os sd. Mr. Ribton prosecuted ; Mr. John Best appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Ribton stated that the prisoner was in the service of Mr. James Forsdyke, a tobacconist, in High-street, Shore ditch, as traveller and collector, at a salary of 258 per week. He had been promised, in addition, a commission at the rate of £l.se per cent. on his sales, when they exceeded £5O in a week, but they had never reached that sum and no commis sion had been earned. The total of his misappropriations was between £6O and £7O. Mr. Best addressed the jury in mitigation of punishment, and stated that the prisoner had trusted to the produce of the commission to replace the moneys of his master. The Assistant-Judge said that no explanation was given of the disposal of £6O or CO which the prisoner had taken while receiving 25s a week. Sentence-12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. Gaorge Knight, aged 41, pleaded guilty to stealing half a bushel of corn; and Wm. Alfred Paul, aged 24, pleaded guilty to receiving the same, well knowing it to bo stolen. This was an ordinary case of robbery by a servant, where by his master's horses were deprived of half the food allowed for their day's consumption. Suspicion had been excited against another person, and the police watched, but found Paul taking the oats from•Kn:ght; It appeared that Paul had born hitherto an unexceptionable character, and that the prosecutor.thought him less guilty than others who had not been detected. The Assistant-Judge sentenced Knight to be imprisoned 12 and Paul to be imprisoned six calendar months, and kept at hard labour. Charles Williams, aged 22, and Edward Collins, aged 19, ware charged with stealing a diamond ring, a locket, and other articles, of the value of £lOO, belonging to Mrs. Patte rson, from the dwelling-house of her husband. It appeared that the prisoners took advantage of being employed to carry luggage from a cab into the house, to enter Mrs. Patterson's dressing-room and to steal the jewellery. They tried to induce William Parrott, one of the Shoe-black Brigade, to pawn some of the articles, but he refused to do so, and was an important witness, as none of the property had been found. The prisoners were found guilty, and were proved to have been companions and known to the police. The Assistant- Judge directed 10s. to be given to William Parrott, as an acknowledgment of the boy's honesty in refusing to assist in the disposal of stolen property, and sentenced Williams to two years' and Collins to one years' imprisonment, with bard labour. George Watson, aged 30, pleaded guilty to a charge of pot stealing, and, having been formerly convicted, was sen tenced to be kept in penal servitude for three years, Thomas Grant, aged 26, pleaded guilty to stealing a bale of paper value £6, the property of Messrs. Winn Brothers and Co. • The bale was removed from the warehouse and placed on a barrow. The prisoner, being known, was stopped. It was said that he had only recently returned from penal servitude. Ho was now sentenced to penal servitude for four years, Robert Smith, aged 48, pleaded guilty to a charge of pot stealing, after a former conviction, and was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment and hard labour. John Boyes, 25, was convicted on several indictments which charged him with stealing the greatcoats of as many little boys, who live at Notting-hill, and who were induced either to leave their still younger brothers in charge of the coats while taking messages for the prisoner, or were vio lently dispossessed of them without any subterfuge on his part. His former master said ha had borne a good character up to Midsummer last, but he had since lost sight of him. Sentence, two years' imprisonment with hard labour. JamesManeon, 22, George Roberta, 23, and Robt. Smith, 20, were indicted for stealing a plate basket, containing £3O worth of silver articles, from the house of Mr. T. Hughes, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, on the 21st December last. It appeared that two of the prisoners had been undergoing imprisonment in Coldbath-fields prison since the robbery, and were taken into custody upon being discharged. The evidence showed that the prisoners were in company on the day named, that they wore seen near Mr. Hughes's house, that Manson was seen to go down the area steps at the foot of which was the pantry, in which the butler had placed the plate-basket, and that Manson was seen about the time of its loss, still in the company of the other two men, and car rying a basket covered.with straw. When Roberts and Man son were put in a cab at the door of Coldbath-fields prison, Smith came up with another man in Volunteer uniform, and attempted to rescue them. On being apprehended sub sequently he was identified as the third who, three months before, had been concerned in this robbery. Manson repeatedly declared that he was innocent; that he was all round Clapham and Brixton on Dec. 21st, that he returned home at half-past four, that he pawned his coat the same evening, and that the two other prisoners then told him they had committed this robbery with the assist ance of a man named M'Carthy, who unfortunately resem bled him in appearance. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. Sergeants Cole and White proved former convictions against Manson and Roberts. They said that M'Carthy did not resemble Manson, and that Manson had long been known as an area thief. On ono occasion they searched a basket he was carrying, and underneath the straw they found a hook with a string attached, and an instrument which would easily open the catches of windows. His plan was to mark the house where the platebasket was left in the lowest room, to watch for the absence of the servants upstairs, to open the window and draw out the platebasket by the hook, and to conceal it under the straw in the other basket, which was just large enough to receive it. Manson, when sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for seven years, protested his innocence, called on the other two men to clear him, and clung so tenaciously to the dock rail that three officers were necessary to remove him. He was with great difficulty overpowered and convoyed to the cells of the Sessions-laouse, The Assistant Judge then sentenced Roberts to four years and Smith to three years' penal servitude,and he directed a reward of 20s to be given to a cabman named John Winter, I whose evidence was important on the question of identity. SECOND COURT. Mr Payne presided in the Second Court to-day. Bridgett Farrell surrendered on bail to answer a charge of stealing several packets of groceries belonging to her master. The prisoner was servant to Mr Michael Lee, 243, Ful ham-road. The family consisted of Mr Lee, his wife, and daughter. Mr Leo ordered these groceries of Mr Barnes, of Fulham, on Friday evening, March 11 . Geo. Hall, the errand boy, proved the delivery of the several packages to the prisoner on the saws evening at Mr Lee's house. The whole, excepting half a pound of currents, were found scat • tered about inside the railings of Fulham-crescent by the fire-eseapeman Rowlands, as ho was going off duty on Saturday morning at 7 o'clock. The prisoner denied that the boy had delivered them, but Mrs Lee, on account of previous dishonesty, did not believe her, and dismissed her from the service. Mr. Lee was out of town until the fol lowing Wednesday evening, and on Thursday morning he gave her into custody. The jury found the prisoner not guilty. PERSIAN STUDENTS IN ENGLAND.—Five young Persian gentlemen have arrived in England to be educated at the expense of their own Government, under the care of his Excellency Mahniowl Khan, the Persihka Minis ter in this country. TlMES.—After a gallant defence of two months Dybbol was taken yesterday mornieg by assault, and the Danish army has lost its last held on the mainland of Schles a ig, For some days the event had been expected. Towards the close of last month it became evident that the Prussians had thrown off the languor which marked the early conduct of the siege, and were resolved to press it with vigour and to force, if possible, a surrender. It need hardly be said that the prospect of the coming Con ference had much to do with this sudden display of energy. It is to injustice to the Prussians to sup pose that they were unwilling to retire from the scene of war without having gained tome conspi cuous advantage in a campaign of which they were the chief authors. Although the actual posses sion of some Danish earthworks and a certain num bet; Danish prisoners might not tend to settle the question in dispute between Denmark and Germany, yet, the war being once begun, it was unpleasant to retire from it without the flowers, if not the fruits, of victory. Hence for the last fortnight the Prussians have worked with a spirit of which their former operations gave no promise. Their great resources, their excellent arms and materials of war, their discipline, and the good military quali ties of their soldiers, have been used with effect in the reduction of the Danish stronghold. As the day for the Conference approached their desire for a speedy success became stronger, and in their im patience they did not even think it necessary to abide by the ordinary customs of war. But the burning of Sonderborg was only an episode of other and more legitimate operations. Day by day they brought their fire nearer the Danish batteries. At the beginning of last week it became evident that the Danes, unless largely reinforced, could not long hold the place. Unless such an army could have been placed in Schleswig as would have com pelled the enemy to raise the siege, the fate of Dybbol was sealed, for the Prussians were in their third parallel, the Danish batteries were suffering from the heavy fire, and the soldiers themselves were worn out with the continual work made necessary by a struggle with an enemy vastly su perior in numbers and better appointed in every respect. The extremities to which they were re duced and their growing despondency are well de scribed in our correspondent's letter. At last the assault was made yesterday morning. We do not yet know the details, but we trust that the conflict was less bloody than others which our time has witnessed. It seems certain that the Danes them selves expected the result, for they are described as dismantling the forts of the best part of their artil lery, and taking most of their guns over to Alsen. However that may be, we must presume that they defended the place with sufficient obstinacy. But the Prussians were successful, Redoubts Ito 7 are on the left and centre of the Danish line and extend from the shores of Wenning-bay to a point on the straight line which joins Sonderborg and the vile lage of Dybbol. These appear to have been first mastered by the Prussians, who then passed to the Danish rear and took possession of their communi cations. Then Redoubts 8,9, and 10 on the Danish right were taken, together with the tege-de•pont. The bridge was destroyed, and 2,000 men, with 51 officers, are spoken of as having fallen into the hands of the enemy. Thus ends the siege of Dybbol. Like the Russians on the morrow of the great assult on the Malakoff, the Danes have aban doned their positions and retreated across a narrow piece of water, with the intention, no doubt, to dispute the further progress of the enemy. They probably do not consider themselves as wholly beaten or their cause as lost. On the other hand, the Prussians have won a decisive victory. It may not be a great one ; it may furnish no fitting subject for boasting, nor of complacent remembrance here after, bat still it is a victory, and Prussia may con gratulate herself and her German friends that the Danish force is now driven from continentalSchleswig The allied Powers have accomplished that for which they profess to have t alien up arms. They have their "material guarantee." They have entered Schleswig; they have defeated the King's army, driven it from two fortified positions, killed, wounded, or captured several thousands of Danes, eupersed d the Royal au . hority, di , placed the King's coinage, ejected his cflici:ls, forbidden the use of his name even in the prayers of the Caurch, and thus, they may Lope, satisfied the moat patriotic aspirations of the Ger man nation. Will not these things content them ? Both sides have ',lobe enough to show their courage and their military talents. The Danes have herd their ground wall, and every one on the spot acknowledges that the Prussians have lately pushed the s'ege with skill and energy. The operations have ended without dishonour attaching to either party. Fair success has rewarded the victor, and complete subjection has not fallen to the lot of the vanquished. At present the Danes are concentrated in Alsen, where they will endeavour to make a stand at the works which they are said to have been long preparing. Should the war continue, there can certainly be no doubt as to the fate of their army. The allied forces will be sooner or later able to cross the Sound, and compel a retreat to the Danish ships, or a capitulation. But time is neces sary for such a design. At present Denmark still has an army in the field; the Conference will begin to-morrow, and the questions which are now being decided by the sword will be brought under its deliberations. It is an opportunity which ought not to be lost by the representatives of the neutral Powers. There will be a better chance of happy relations between the Dane and the German, be tween the Sovereign and his subjects, if the war comes to an end without the Danish army being reduced to the last extremity. We are happy to believe that in these deliberations the two Western Powers will be found in accord. Although there may have been some minor differences in the views of the Emperor and her Majesty's Govern ment with respect to the grievances and rights of the Duchies, there is a full agreement that the integrity of the Danish Monarchy shall be pre served, and that the unhappy campaign in Schleswig and the occupation which is exhausting and demoralising both Duchies shall be brought to an end. Lord Clarendon is said to have found the Emperor ready to co-operate fully withGreatßritain in the restoration of peace, and the settlement of the chief questions in a manner consistent both with popular rights and the honour of the Danish Crown. It is clearly within the province of such a body of representatives as will meet to-morrow to urge in the strongest manner the cessation of blood shed. Now that the bases of the settlement have been formally or tacitly agreed upon there can be no necessity for a further appeal to arms. Every member of the Conference, with the ex ception, perhaps, of Baron Beust, will begin the discussion without any wish but for that reasonable compromise which is inevitable. Thequestions which will be really disputed may be difficult, but they re late more to administration and political rights than to nationality and dynasty. The farther prosecu tion of the campaign can only retard 3 satisfactory arrangement. POST.—Last evening, pursuant to notice, Mr. Disraeli directed the attention of the Homo of Commons to the singular fact that during the past twelvemonths an Under Secretary of State bad been taking part in the debates and divisions of the House, though absolutely disqualified from so doing by Act of Parliament. When the late Secretary for War, Sir G. C. Lewis, died, the then Under Secretary in that department, the Earl De Grey and Ripon, was appointed to the vacant post, and the Under Seerettuship was given to the Marquis of Hartington, a member of the Lower House of Parliament. To the latter appointment no objec tion was ever raised until last Friday evening, when Mr. Disraeli called attention to the circumstance that there were then five Under Secretaries occu pying seats in the House of Commons, althoughit was specially provided by the Legislature that four only should enjoy that privilege. The discuss i on of the question was postponed until last evening, but even in that brief interval circumstances had arisen which would seem to have stripped the ques tion mooted by Mr. Disraeli of much o f its prac tical importance. The Vice-Pres ident of the Board of Education had meantime resigned, his office had been given to the Under Secretary for the Home Department, and, consequently, when the House met last evening, there were but four Under Secre taries members of the House of Commons. The Government were thereby relieved from a disagree able dilemma, but it was, of course, still open to the House to mark its sense of what had taken plane by recording a formal resolution to the effect that the law had been violated. Mr. Disraeli, however, submitted a resolution to the house which, in effect, not only declared that the statute had been in fringed, but that the seat h e ld b y t h e M arqu i s o f Harlington, who until yesterday was the fifth Under Secretary of Stat e , was vacate d. A s th e points raised in the course of the discussion are not a little curious, and their bearings, both in a consti tutional and legal asp ec t o f cons id era bl e i m p or t ance, we will briefly refer to th e c h ang es which hav e a t various times been made in the law so far as it af feels the tenure of office under the Crown by mem bers of the House of Commons: In the reign of Queen Anus the House of Commons awoke, to a con.

At that time there were three Secretaries of State and as many Under Secretaries, for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial de partments respectively. So matters remained until the close of the American war, when, Great Britain having lost what had been her most important colo nies, Mr. Burke introduced a bill fur economical re form, by which the office of the Secretary for the Colonies was abolished, as being one w hien was no longer necessary. This bill became law, end, until the Secretaryship for the Colonies was revived, there existed but two Secretarvships of State with their attendant Under Secretaryship. At the tertnina him., of the Crimean war it was thought adeisehle to create a Secretary of War, and an act was passed with that intent, and by this statute it was pro vided that three Under Secretaries at the resist should be eligible for seats in the House of Cc, m mous. The next change which was effected arose from the creation, at a later period, of the office of Secretary of State for India, and the act by which this office was created provided that the maximum number of Under Secretaries in the Lower Howie should thenceforth be four. Since then the law has remained unmodified, and the primary question raised for the consideration of the house last even ing was whether the law of the land and the privi lege of Parliament had not equally been violated, owing to the circumstance of five Under Secretaries having simultaneously eat and voted in the House of Commons during the present session. The sta tute creating the office of Secretary for India is so explicit that it was impossible for the Government to avoid admitting that they had infringed the law. Lord Palmerston frankly stated to the house that an error had been committed, and proposed that a bill of indemnity should be passed for the benefit of those who had unconsciously acted in violation of the law. But the resolution submitted to the house by Mr. Disraeli aimed at results other than the mere affira mation of a legal and constitutional principle which did not admit of denial. He asked the house to de clare that the seat of the fifth Under Secretary was vacant. His view of the question was supported by the unanswerable argument that if the fifth Under Secretary was ineligible to sit in the House of Commons a week ego, he must be equally in eligible now, as he had not been re-elected since the redistribution of offices had given him a right to a seat in the house. On the other hand, it was contended by the Attorney-General that the office of Under Secretary stcod on a footing different from that of those offices under the Crown referred to in the statute of Anne, and that their holders were not visited with that ineligi bility to sit in the House of Commons affixed to the offices specified in that Aot of Parliament. The House of Commons is not the fittest tribunal to pro nounce upon a purely legal question, and it was agreed by common consent to refer this knotty point to a select committee, the house meanwhile accept ing the first portion of Mr. Disraeli's motion, affirm ing that it was a breach of the law for a fifth Secre • tary of State to sit and vote as a member of their body. The circumstance that five Under Secretaries of State have, during the past year, sat in the House of Commons is, however, important on other grounds than that of being a mere breach of the law. On the distribution of the principal offices of State it is undoubtedly material that of the Chief Secretaryship of State a majority should be held by members of the LOwer House. It is, no doubt, very right and proper to appoint Under Secre taries, but the House of Commons is entitled to claim the opportunity of addressing itself directly , to those Secretaries at least who preside over de partments which regulate the principal portion of the expenditure of the country. In the present in stance, however, it is scarcely fair to reproach Lord Palmerston, because, a few weeks since, three out of the five principal Secretaries of State were peers of the realm. When he accepted office Earl Russell was in the House of Commons, and Sir Georg 3 Lewis was still alive. The balance has been par tially restored by the appointment of Mr. Cardwell to the office which the Duke of Newcastle was through illness compelled to resign, and there are now three Secretaries of State in the House of Commons. The appointment of a member of the Lower House to an Under Secretaryship, whilst four were distributed to members of that House, was an error, but that it was inadvertently com mitted is apparent from the fact that, though patent to the world, it escaped detection for so long a time. Important Circular Despatch of Bishop Monrad. -40.-- -- The following. despatch, forwarded by the Danish Premier to King Christian's diplomatic agents at foreign Courts, has been revived at Mr. R....titer's office : Copenhagen, April 9, 1864. Sir,—The acts and proceedings of the alli3d commis sioners in Schleswig havo unfortunately given us too fre quent occasion to communicate with you upon the character the German Cabinets have impressed upon the invasion in spite of their former declarations, and notwithstanding the assurances they appear to have given to neutral Courts upon the subject of their intentions. I find myself now com pelled to call your attention to another series of still graver facts, in which, not content with setting aside the rights of the King, our enemies have gone so far as to violate the precepts of the right of nations and the first principles of humanity. The commander-in-chief of the Prussian army has re cently, without any previous warning, proceeded to bombard the open and inoffensive town of Sonderburg. Peaceable inhabitants, women and children, have been buried beneath the ruins or slaughtered by the bursting of shells, and hos pitals filled with wounded have had to be evacuated under a hail of bullets. Some Prussian hussars had been surprised during the night by a small Danish detachment near the village of Assendrup. To revenge themselves for this occurrence, which was owing to the heedlessness of their officers, the Prussians have set fire to the farms at which the hussars were lodged, and, not content with reducing poor peasants to indigence, surrounded the burning building with a guard to prevent furniture and even animals being saved from the flames. In Jutland the allied armies have overwhelmed the inha bitants with contributions of all kinds, and to so exorbitant an extent, that certain localities have found it absolutely impossible to fulfil these requirements. The allied generals wished the Danish authorities to afford them assistance in these extortions, and when they refused to co-operate in the work of pillage 10 prefects, and burgo masters were arrested as prisoners and transported to the fortress of Rendsburg, where they have already been de tained upwards of a month. Though tormented in various ways, and exposed to every species of humiliation and pri vation, these honourable officials do not for a moment regret having done their duty, but fears are entertained lest this unjustifiable treatment may not soon cost at least one of their number his life. I could swell the list of these atrocities by many more examples, but limit myself to again recalling to recollection that even churchyards and national monuments have nut been secure from the Vandalism of the invaders. The Government of theaing has unquestionably a right to make reprisals against this barbarous manner of waging war. If it has mvertheless decided upon not availing itself of the right of retaliation, it is from a belief that whatever the excuses capable of being brought for such a course, the nation would not be slow bitterly to repent an offence against laws never violated with impunity. The reprobation of the present age, and the condemnation of history, in fact, are punishments so rigorous that we cannot add to their weight; We restrict ourselves, therefore, to notifying the facts. Europe and entire humanity will judge. —I have, &c., (Signed) D. G. MONRAD. THE NEW JAPANE SE EMBASSY.—The Sin gapore correspondent of the Messager du Midi ...yea the following information relative to the JapanesebEra bassy, just arrived at Marseilles :—" In 1862 the ambassa dors of the Taicoon in Paris had very skilfully demanded that Japan should not be constrained to open all her ports to foreigners so long as there was any cause to fear that security in the interior could not be relied en. They offered every possible facility to commerce at Nagasaki and other points, but at none of those that had been wished for. The French Government accepted the demand, but on condition that Japan should reduce the duties en French wines and on articles of Paris manufacture. On returning to Yeddo, and after 20 months' hesitation, that is to say, after having acquired the conviction that nothing could be done by force against the foreigners, a decisi on was come to, to yield on the question of the t ar iff s, in order to deman d i n th e i r t urn the fulfilment of th e promises made at P ar i s . They hasten e d to go to the French Minister to offer him to take up till customs' question. A discussion took place, and in the end they yielded, as they said. out of sympathy to France. The following is the official circular of the Charge d'Affaires, which explains what was done The undersigned Minis ter Plenipotentiary and Charge d'Affaires at Japan has the honour to inform the French merchants that the Japanese Government has just come to a decision, co nformably to the engagements st i pu l a ted at Paris by the ambas sa d ors of the Tai coon , in October, 1862, relative to the reduction in the duties on French wines and articles of Paris manufac ture. That reduction will take place in the following pro , portions : —Wines and liquids to 5 per cent, instead of 35 per cent., and Paris articles to 5 per cent. and 6'per cent., according to classes, instead of 20 per cent. The present E measure is to come into force for Yokohama on the Bth of , F e b r uary, and for the other ports on the Bth of March."' This Day, price 25., fancy cover, IC A TE H A M I L TO N.
